Happy New Year again

It is Old New Year here today, the New Year under the Julian calendar, which is still used by the church here. It is the closing holiday of the season and there was a lot of carol singing today again, and fireworks of course.

And this local woman was on TV here today:

She moved to the U.S. and she works as a truck driver there (this is her truck in the picture). She loves it and is not planning on coming back anytime soon. She told the interviewer that Americans are super friendly and always ready to help and that she gets on with her mostly male colleagues famously. She is usually on the road for two to three weeks at a time but she loves it.
